Both male and female Bald Eagles build nest. But this male was so industrious, bringing stick after stick to the nest the whole morning. This time, he brought two!
Taken last year, shortly after sunrise.
Another dormant pub. My local as well. Nice atmosphere, great beer and food plus a spacious garden at the rear. Soon I hope!!
We have finally seen some snow in southern Wisconsin, making it look and feel a little more like winter. Here on the north side of Watertown, Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder kicks up the powder a little after just crossing over from 2 main to the single track main at Watertown West.

Yes...I know it's another Goldfinch....but how could I refuse to take her portrait when she'd been so industrious,and posed Soooo close to me, and, with a gorse bush as her back drop....Delightful...!
Worth viewing large...she deserves it after all her hard work, thanks.
A late-running Amtrak No. 8, the Empire Builder, cruises through Grizzly, Montana, on December 23, 1998. The train is leaving the snow-covered Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park behind on this extremely cold day. Leading the silvery Superliner is an all-GE consist, led by warbonnet-clad BNSF No. 761, with P40DCs (822, 808, 817) in three different paint schemes trailing.

Inspired by the novella The ark builder, written by Chaim Potok.
After crossing a snowy Marias Pass, Amtrak’s eastbound Empire Builder curves through Grizzly, Montana, on a cold December 22, 1998.
The previous day's eastbound Empire Builder rolled through about an hour ahead of this Christmas day scheduled eastbound Builder. Nothing special about this train other than it's Christmas day passengers traveling by rail, as it should be.

Another winter snowfall and brings another late Empire Builder on its trip back to Chicago. Siemens ALC-42 Chargers 302 and 310 are about 5 hours late into the Twin Cities and should arrive at St. Paul Union Deport within the half hour.

It's a gorgeous day upon the grassy knoll, as Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder races along just east of their Columbus station stop, running only twenty minutes behind today.

Expecting silver and blue to be leading the Empire Builder into Union Depot, instead, BNSF orange appeared into view making for an awkward-looking train. Anyone that knows me knows I am no fan of freight power on Amtrak. Oh well.
Strange looks as I lay flat on the forecourt of the Petrol Station/Cafe in the middle of Pelkosenniemi to capture this group of House Martins (and some Swallows) collecting nest-building mud from a small puddle at the edge of the car park.

The Empire Builder at MP 322, cruising along the Mississippi River at track speed on a beautiful day.
Before the IXONIA station sign disappeared, we find Amtrak's westbound Empire Builder racing through the small burg, while cutting through the hot, humid August air.

Three identical Siemens ALC-42s take the Empire Builder away from Saint Paul Union Depot underneath the bluffs along the Mississippi River. For a long while now Amtrak has only allocated a single coach on the Seattle section while the Portland section retains two. One of those things that makes you say, "Hmmmm...."
This is a rare sight in Australia these days. A building where carriages were built since 1864. This is the ornate upstairs residence, but at the back of the building on Paterson Street the workshops existed where carriages were manufactured for locals in the 19th century. This historic building sits right across the road from the Launceston Fire Station.
But the story of Frederick Paine doesn't end with building carriages for horses. In fact he saw the writing on the wall and is responsible for building the first ever motorised vehicle in Launceston in 1908 at this very site.. www.julianburgess.com.au/single-post/2019/09/24/praise-fo...

The previous day, Amtrak zipped through town missing the 5 car Seattle section of the train. That section (led by AMTK 307) smashed a tree west of Spokane and was towed back to Seattle and added to the next day's train. (307 was left behind)
Led by 3 differently painted Amtrak locomotives, an unusually big 14-car Empire Builder flies through town with temperatures just barely hitting +10.
Of course, in 2022, I would have much rather shot AMTK 301 ("Day 1") leading. But I feel like in several years when the GEs are gone or hard to find I'll feel differently about catching a bloody Genesis 45 leading.
Winds kept the Becker plant steam away from the sun but also chilled the bones stepping outside to get the shot.

Years ago, before double track, there was a tree that blocked the billboard and was a better photo prop. Granted the billboard has changed recently, but I still miss the tree.
